A mother will do anything to protect her child…

Love and hate are no match for a prison’s walls

What would you do if your son was sent down? Any parent would want justice – but justice takes many forms. Would you take on his enemies, protect his reputation, fight his battles? What if you had no choice?

Zara Makin tried to give her three boys everything – but they wanted more than any mother could give. They’ve been running their patch of the city on fear and ruthlessness, but now the law has caught up with the eldest of the Makin boys.

With Tyler, the eldest, banged up in Strangeways, can he hold onto his empire from the inside, keep the family afloat, and protect his nearest and dearest? Or will Zara have to fight tougher and dirtier to save her family than ever before?
